You need a front and back shirt piece for your sweater. We are creating 3 Tiny Ugly Sweaters to give you different ideas on how to decorate yours!

3. To attach Mini Jingle Bells to your Sweater, thread embroidery thread through the back of the front piece of shirt and tie a knot at the back. Thread on 4 Jingle Bells and hold them in place by threading through the shirt to the back. Repeat until you have four rows of Jingle Bells on your shirt.

4. Join the front and back sweater pieces together using a 1.6m piece of thread and a blanket stitch. Start at the left shoulder and work your way around until you reach the other shoulder. DO NOT stitch around the collar as you need this space to place in the coat hanger!
